[0019] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a detection device for measuring the symmetry of both sides of a broach includes a bracket 1. The two ends of the bracket 1 are fixedly connected to a broaching machine by self-tapping screws. A slider base 2 is provided on one side of the bracket 1. A groove 3 is provided on the side of the slider base 2 close to the bracket 1. The groove 3 is in clearance fit with the bracket 1. A slider 4 is provided on the side of the slider base 2 away from the bracket 1. The slider 4 is fixedly connected to the slider base 2. An opening is provided on the slider 4. A linear guide 5 passes through the opening on the slider 4. The linear guide 5 is in clearance fit with the opening on the slider 4. A dial indicator holder 6 is provided at one end of the linear guide 5. The dial indicator holder 6 is fixedly connected to the linear guide 5 by a first locking bolt 107. A first limit stop 8 and a second limit stop 9 are fixedly provided on the side of the linear guide 5 close to the slider 4. The first limit stop 8 is located at one end of the linear guide 5 close to the dial indicator holder 6. The second limit stop 9 is located at the other end of the linear guide 5. The end of the dial indicator holder 6 away from the linear guide 5 is bifurcated in a Y shape. Two dial indicators are symmetrically provided on the Y-shaped bifurcation, namely a first dial indicator 10 and a second dial indicator 11. The frames of the two dial indicators are fixedly connected to the dial indicator holder 6 by a second locking bolt 12. The measuring heads 13 of the two dial indicators are close to each other and form a certain angle.

[0020] A set of broaches includes a tool holder and multiple broaches. Alignment blocks 14 are fixedly provided at both the front end and the rear end of the tool holder.

[0021] Working principle of the present invention: When using the first broach, it is necessary to adjust the positions of the bracket 1, the slider base 2 and the two dial indicators according to the length and width of the broach to ensure that the measuring heads 13 of the dial indicators can measure both sides of all the teeth of the broach within the limit ranges of the first limit stop 8 and the second limit stop 9. Then, align the dial indicators with the alignment block 14. The operator gently pushes the linear guide 5 to zero the two dial indicators when the measuring heads 13 of the two dial indicators simultaneously press both sides of the alignment block 14 at the front end of the broach. Subsequently, move the broach to make the measuring heads 13 press both sides of the alignment block 14 at the rear end of the broach, and check whether the values displayed by the two dial indicators are consistent. If they are consistent, continue the measurement; if not, re-align the dial indicators. After the alignment is completed, perform the measurement. The operator gently pushes the linear guide 5 to make the measuring heads 13 of the two dial indicators simultaneously press on both side surfaces of the teeth of the broach, record the dimensions displayed at the head and tail teeth of the first broach where the two dial indicators are located, and then compare the dimensional drop of the broach. If the deviation of a single tooth is too large, it indicates that there is a problem with the installation of the broach and it needs to be reinstalled;

[0022] After replacing the next broach, the operator gently pushes the linear guide 5 to zero the two dial indicators when the measuring heads 13 of the two dial indicators simultaneously press both sides of the alignment block 14 at the front end of the broach. Subsequently, move the broach to make the measuring heads 13 press both sides of the alignment block 14 at the rear end of the broach, and check whether the values displayed by the two dial indicators are consistent. If they are consistent, continue the measurement; if not, re-align the dial indicators. After the alignment is completed, perform the measurement;

[0023] Gently push the linear guide 5 to make the measuring heads 13 of the two dial indicators simultaneously press on both side surfaces of the teeth of the broach, record the dimensions displayed at the head and tail teeth of this broach where the two dial indicators are located, compare the dimensions at the positions of the measuring heads 13 of the current broach, and then compare the dimensional drop of the broach. If the deviation of a single tooth is too large, it indicates that there is a problem with the installation of the broach and it needs to be reinstalled;

[0024] Through the above operations, the symmetry of the broach is converted into relative values on the two dial indicators, which is convenient for the operator to measure, record and analyze, realizing the quick detection of whether the symmetry of each broach is consistent when replacing the broach, simplifying the tool alignment process and improving the production efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided on the slider base 2, and the thread penetrates from one side of the slider base 2 to the side surface of the groove 3. A third locking bolt 15 is screwed into the threaded hole and abuts against the bracket 1 to fix the slider base 2 to the bracket 1 after the position of the slider base 2 is adjusted.

[0026] Furthermore, the measuring heads 13 of the first dial indicator 10 and the second dial indicator 11 are replaceable. Since the heights and widths of the teeth of a set of broaches vary greatly, the measuring range of ordinary round heads is insufficient. Replacing the measuring heads with discs or long strips can increase the inspection range. At the same time, the dial indicator frame 6 can be enlarged and the two dial indicators can be lengthened according to actual needs.

[0027] Further, the height of the tool setting block 14 at the front end of the tool rest is lower than the height of the tooth of the broach with the lowest height, and the height of the tool setting block 14 at the rear end of the broach is less than the height of the tooth of the broach with the highest height. The tool setting block 14 is designed to not interfere with normal broaching, so as to prevent the tool setting block 14 from interfering with the normal broaching of the broach.

[0028] Further, a fourth locking bolt 16 is provided on the slider base 2. The fourth locking bolt 16 passes through the slider base 2 and abuts against the linear guide 5. A hole that is helically engaged with the fourth locking bolt 16 is provided on the slider base 2. The linear guide 5 can be locked during the movement measurement of the broach to ensure the measurement accuracy.

[0029] Further, the bracket 1 is connected to the broaching machine by an angle iron 17 or other special connectors. The bracket 1 is fixed to the broaching machine through the connectors. The bracket 1 is designed to avoid the broach and the components required in the processing process. The connection methods of the connectors are diverse and can be set as a detachable method.

[0030] Further, as Figure 4 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a set of broaches includes a first broach 18, a second broach 19, a third broach 20, a fourth broach 21, a fifth broach 22, a sixth broach 23, a seventh broach 24, an eighth broach 25, a ninth broach 26, and a tenth broach 27.

[0031] The embodiments of the present embodiment have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present embodiment is not limited to the above specific implementation manners. The above specific implementation manners are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present embodiment and the scope protected by the claims, and all of them fall within the protection scope of the present embodiment.
